Orlando Monologue

Improved Essays
Orlando: What made you realize and want to stop doing drugs? What did you do to stop?
Bob: I was tired of being sick all the time, and hated waking up and feeling like shit. I couldn’t shit and was always constipated, I always had headaches, the chills, and I kept throwing up. No one took care me, and I couldn’t afford to go to the hospital. You know, I have Hepatitis C, and I’m probably sure that had some effect with my body. I’m also sure I got Hepatitis C from sharing needles, but there’s a chance I could have gotten it from the tattoos in prison.
Orlando: Have you been tested positive for HIV or any other diseases?
Bob: No, just positive for Hep C. Doctors told me that I am a carrier of the disease, and it shouldn’t affect

    Hi Rudin, Thanks for letting me know of your upcoming run-through. No I'm not sick and tired at all, I am excited for you (tired maybe lol). If I would live closer I wouldn't have to think about it at all, even with the Rose Bowl on at the same time. I am not surprised the maestro would not like to have anybody at the rehearsal, I was actually thinking of asking for myself, but I dismissed the thought for that reason, remember in London they didn't like it either. Thanks for willing to Skype, but under the circumstances, I will go to the Rose Bowl.…
